    Hi,

    what is the procedure to change the name on an account in these circumstances? Father has passed away in the last year and we haven't got around to doing this yet.

    Thank you.

    Hi 17-pdr, 

    My deepest condolences for your loss. 

    Our customer care team on 1901 will be able to arrange this for you and advise you on all from there. 

    Thanks

    What option would I choose after dialling 1901?

    Wish you the best of luck.  When we telephoned to report a fault & disruption in service after account holder had died, got a swift we can only speak with the account holder after we told them that the account holder were dead.  Were also asked twice to provide them with proof of death.  A coroners certificate didn't do it!

    No problem. 

    You will need to pick option 5 to get through to them. 

    Thanks

    Hi Madelyn Obedient Speedway, 

    I'm very sorry to hear about the issues you've had with ourselves, this is not acceptable and I understand that this is a difficult enough time for you. 

    This is not the level of customer service we aim to provide. If you PM me the account number, full name on the account, email address and date of birth I will locate the agents you were dealing with and will escalate this so they can be trained further on this procedure. 

    Did you get this issue resolved in the end?

    Thanks 

    Tracey

    No the issue didn't get resolved. I decided that I wanted nothing more to do with Eir when the response was that "we can only speak with the account holder" even though I had told both people that that person were dead, and then you's kindly put a block on the line preventing us from switching for some time.
